Switzerland Travel FAQs
A trip with Royalairtrip allows you to have a tour with freedom and flexibility. You decide where to visit, when to see, what to eat and where to stay.
What makes Switzerland different from other European destinations?
Switzerland stands apart from every other European destination in a way that is immediately obvious the moment you arrive. No other country on the continent combines snow capped Alpine peaks, crystal clear glacier lakes, charming medieval old towns, world class skiing resorts, and one of the highest standards of living in the entire world all within such a compact and easily navigable geography. The country is home to four distinct cultures speaking German, French, Italian, and Romansh giving every region a completely unique character and flavour. The legendary Swiss precision extends beyond watches and chocolate to transport systems, hospitality, and infrastructure that work with breathtaking efficiency. Royal Air Trip crafts Switzerland itineraries that take you beyond the obvious tourist trail to discover the truly magical and unexpected sides of this extraordinary country.
What are the most scenic train journeys in Switzerland?
Switzerland has one of the most spectacular and celebrated railway networks in the entire world and riding its legendary scenic trains is an unmissable experience that many travellers consider the highlight of their entire trip. The Glacier Express running between Zermatt and St Moritz is the most famous slow train journey in the world travelling for nearly 8 hours through 91 tunnels, across 291 bridges, and over some of the most breathtaking Alpine scenery imaginable. The Bernina Express connecting Chur to Tirano in Italy crosses the UNESCO listed Bernina Pass offering jaw dropping views of glaciers, frozen lakes, and dramatic mountain landscapes that change constantly throughout the journey. The Golden Pass Line between Lucerne and Montreux passes through rolling green meadows, charming wooden chalets, and the stunning shores of Lake Geneva. Royal Air Trip includes these legendary train experiences in all our Switzerland itineraries.
What outdoor adventures can I enjoy in Switzerland?
Switzerland is an absolute paradise for outdoor adventure enthusiasts and the variety of adrenaline filled and nature based activities available throughout the country is truly extraordinary. Skiing and snowboarding in world famous resorts like Zermatt, Verbier, and St Moritz between December and March offer some of the finest slopes and most breathtaking mountain scenery in all of Europe. Hiking in summer transforms the Alps into a magnificent network of well marked trails ranging from gentle valley walks to challenging high altitude routes with the Eiger Trail and the Five Lakes Walk near Zermatt being among the most spectacular. Paragliding over Interlaken with the Bernese Alps spread out beneath you is one of the most thrilling and unforgettable experiences Switzerland has to offer. Royal Air Trip tailors adventure itineraries based on your fitness level and interests.
What is the best way to get around Switzerland?
Getting around Switzerland is an absolute pleasure thanks to one of the most efficient, punctual, and comprehensive public transport networks found anywhere in the world. The Swiss Travel Pass is the single most valuable purchase you can make for your trip as it gives you unlimited travel on virtually all trains, buses, boats, and many mountain railways throughout the country for a fixed price making spontaneous day trips and flexible sightseeing incredibly easy and affordable. Trains run with extraordinary punctuality connecting all major cities and even the most remote mountain villages with remarkable speed and comfort. Lake steamers offer a wonderfully scenic and relaxing way to travel between lakeside towns on Lake Geneva, Lake Lucerne, and Lake Zurich. Royal Air Trip includes the Swiss Travel Pass in all our Switzerland tour packages for maximum flexibility and convenience.
What Swiss foods and drinks should I try?
Swiss cuisine is far more diverse and exciting than most travellers expect and going beyond the famous chocolate and cheese reveals a rich and deeply satisfying culinary culture shaped by the country's four distinct regional traditions. Fondue is the ultimate Swiss social dining experience where you dip crusty bread into a bubbling pot of melted Gruyere and Emmental cheese blended with white wine and it is best enjoyed in a cozy mountain chalet after a day of skiing or hiking. Raclette is another beloved Swiss cheese dish where a large wheel of cheese is melted and scraped directly onto boiled potatoes, pickled onions, and gherkins creating a wonderfully simple and comforting meal. Swiss chocolate from brands like Lindt, Toblerone, and Läderach is world famous for its exceptional smoothness and quality and visiting a chocolate factory is an absolute must. Royal Air Trip incorporates authentic Swiss dining experiences into all our itineraries.
